Thanks to all who wrote answers to Fru Pedersen's overheating problem.
My 87 Westy is still sick, we checked everything, re-bled the cooling
system, replaced the thermostat again, retuned the engine, changed the CO
mix etc., and still she heats up on an uphill climb.
Well we have now discovered the problem. There is one spot in the middle of
the radiator that is cold to the touch, so it's time to replace it. Have
one on order and will hopefully be installing it next week so Fru Pedersen
can get back on the road in time for another vacation trip and perhaps The
Burning Man venture.

Again thanks to all the suggestions and helpful hints, especially the one
about some alien organism taking up residence in the radiator. It's
actually living in the fridge.
